SURGERY NEWS July 2022

NOTES FROM THE CHAIR We’ve made it through the first half of the year, and although the COVID-19 virus continues to be unpredictable, our work is advancing at a steady pace. Our endeavors to train the next generation of surgeons resulted in the graduation of another outstanding class of residents. I continue to be very proud of those training on our campus in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. I am also proud to congratulate our clinical partner, Children’s Hospital Colorado, which is once again ranked in the top 10 Best Children’s Hospitals in the country by U.S. News and World Report. Many of our faculty provide services at this outstanding facility and contributed to exceptional rankings for a number of specialties. Over the past few months, we have hosted the only cardiothoracic surgeon from Rwanda, held our annual research symposium highlighting the exceptional work of many of our residents and their faculty mentors, and welcomed numerous new faculty and staff. I hope you enjoy reading about our accomplishments highlighted in the following pages.
